The 2023 vintage bursts with vibrant cherry, strawberry, and mulberry flavors, accented by toasted spice and dried herb notes. Its plush texture and forward fruit are balanced by cool-climate acidity and a subtle oak influence. The finish is fresh and savory, with smooth tannins and lingering black teanuances.

| Vintage Notes | Remarkably cool and late, the 2023 vintage produced wines of singular character and quality. The winter season started wet, with record rainstorms and mountaintop snowfall, leaving aquifers full and vines healthy. A cool spring indicated the later harvest to come, with a late start to budbreak and a long flowering period on the vines that was accompanied by wildflower super blooms. Through mild summer temperatures the vines set an ample crop load with strong canopy growth. After patient waiting and long hangtimes, warm weather came at just the right moment in fall to push ripeness to completion, resulting in wines that are deep, vital, and age worthy. |
